    This is a hack to get an isolated YUI object. This is EXPERIMENTAL,
    and eventually we want to have that capability as part of YUI.

    Note: since the new YUI will run in the context of the mojito NPM
    package, we need to replicate all YUI dependencies as part of
    mojito package.json, this hard-dependency can be removed once
    YUI provides a way to create a sandbox.

    How to use this?

    var YUI = require('yui-sandbox.js').getYUI();
    YUI().use('foo');
